A white page of a spiral-bound notebook seen against a white background. The page features a list of names printed in a dark blue sans-serif font, starting with Paula Anke, Ilit Azoulay, Olafur Eliasson, and ending with — Ephra. The silver spiral binding is visible along the right edge.

A spiral-bound book with a white cover lies on a plain white background. The cover has dark blue text that reads THOUGHTS PLAY HIDE & SEEK. Below the title is a vertical column of multicolored squares and smaller text that says An adventurous art exhibition for kids and adults.

An open, spiral-bound book displays a two-page photograph. The image shows a group of people and children in a dark room with blue lighting, watching a large screen. The screen shows a magnified, white sea creature, likely a basket star, with long, spiny, branching arms against a dark background.

An open, spiral-bound book. The left page shows a photograph of a hanging sculpture made from an orange buoy, a wooden stick, and rope. The right page is pink with the heading Olafur, followed by a paragraph of text about the artist. The page number 165 is at the bottom right.

A photograph in an open, spiral-bound book shows an art installation in a room with a green floor. The artwork is a very long, custom-made foosball table. Instead of a flat playing field, the center of the table is a trough filled with large, dark, volcanic-like rocks, some of which have small flames lit within them.

A table of contents for a book or exhibition catalog. Page numbers are listed in a column on the left, with corresponding chapter titles and author names listed to the right. Chapters include Starting the Journey, How Do You Feel?, Creating a Third Space, and The Lives of Exhibitions. The list concludes with an index of artists, author biographies, and acknowledgements.

An informational page divided into four colored rectangular sections. The top left section is dark orange with the title Dafna and an illustration of a person. The top right is bright pink with a drawing of a group. The bottom left is light purple, titled Ana. The bottom right is dark green, titled Ulrich, with an illustration of a person pointing. Each section contains paragraphs of text about artists.

A black and white, hand-drawn illustration titled The Map of Emotions, depicting a fantasy landscape where geographical features represent feelings. Key locations include an erupting Volcano of Rage, the Mountains of Happiness, the City of Curiosity, the River of Love, the Sea of Tears, and the Island of Tranquility.

A page from a book or catalogue. On the left is a close-up of a glossy, abstract sculpture in shades of blue, with a biomorphic, fluid shape. It is placed in front of a rough, textured, off-white object. The right side of the page has an olive-green background with white text, featuring the heading Wie-yi and a paragraph describing the artist's work on identity. The page number 35 is in the bottom right corner.

A diptych showing a textile art installation in a gallery. The image on the right shows two long, abstractly dyed fabrics in shades of red, pink, and purple hanging from the ceiling and pooling on the dark wood floor. The image on the left is a close-up of the draped fabric, showing a small wooden tag with the word GLÜCK on it.

A diptych showing an art installation against a black background. On the left, a person lies down looking up at hanging, dried root sculptures. On the right, a closer view shows a row of the intricate root sculptures suspended from a grid on the ceiling.

A diptych showing an art gallery. On the left, a person wearing a grey hoodie and a blue bandana touches a large wall installation of crumpled brown paper decorated with colorful dots and white drips. On the right, a wider view of the gallery shows abstract sculptures on the white walls and soft, stuffed forms on the wooden floor.

A diptych showing an art gallery workshop. On the left, a group of adults and children sit and stand on a wooden floor, watching a screen that displays pink flowers. On the right, a wall is covered with children's art projects featuring outlines of hands decorated with colorful paint, paper, and feathers.

An overhead view of a young girl in a pink outfit, lying on a large sheet of white paper on the floor. She is drawing on a life-sized body outline, which is part of a larger art project filled with other drawings and handwritten text. Many colorful markers and crayons are scattered around her. The text WHO ARE YOU? is written at the bottom of the image.
